Review summary

Very good cruise and I met some very nice people…would cruise on NCL Joy again if the opportunity arises

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Waited at LAX for 3-4 hours for shuttle bus to the Joy…much of the time outside on hard surface without place to sit. I felt horrible for several seniors who were waiting with me without be given opportunity to go back inside to get off of their feet

Ship experiences
